OK so im bored now all my kids are asleep, i had to come up with something to pass my time. Who are your favorite athletes ever? Any sport, any era, as many as you want.
Mine personally
Hockey: Wayne Gretzky......always have since i was a kid, great player stand up guy.
Football: Terry Bradshaw.....this more or less deals with a rivalry that me and one of my brothers had growing up, plus he was a great qb and a pretty funny redneck if ya ask me.
Baseball: Not a huge baseball fan never really was always liked Andre Dawson though.
Basketball: Joe Dumars......great shooting guard, could do it all, never really got the recognition he deserved. Another reall class act and has built a pretty good team now. Years ago when i serviced furnaces i took care of his house a few time. Met him, quiet guy treated me like a friend and not a service guy, gave me an autographed B-ball for my son without asking for it.
Football2: I gotta throw in Earl Campbell......too bad he couldnt play longer. the guy was a tank would drag half a defence 5 yards. Just loved to watch him run.

I'm totally down with the Joe Dumars. He was always a favorite of mine class act, loved to watch him just be part of the team. Rarely made a mistake. Absolutely brilliant.
Will Clark was my favorite baseball player growing up. During his heyday with the Giants I absolutely idolized him.
Steve Largent for football obviously.

Zorn to Largent...awesome hookup.....used to like Zorn as a kid partly because im a lefty.

I just liked it when he made a basket and the court announcer would go:
"JooooooOOOOOOOE DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAAAARRRRS!"
Or something like that.
Football is Rice, Basketball is probably Magic Johnson, Baseball...really don't have one. If Bonds had just stayed in Pittsburgh, I'm sure he would be the guy.
Hockey - Mario Lemieux!
The One, the Only, the Incomparable Mercer Boy. My My YouTube.
Doug Gilmour for me, also love Lemieux, Yzerman, Sakic, and the great one.
Football... tough to say, could be Montana considering theres such a great debate over who the best QB of all time is, and i always side with him. Also love to watch Peyton play, and LT2 obviously
Basketball and baseball are booooring.
Other notable athletes for random sports: Andre Agassi, Tiger Woods, Jeff Gordon, blah blah blah...

Dave Parker, the cobra........he was awesome!
Jack Lambert.....another of my faves should have been on my list toughest s.o.b. ever. My wife bought me an autographed Lambert Jersey for my b-day a few years back
